Finale 2009 Now Shipping
Finale 2009, "now shipping" as of Thursday, July 17th, 2008 (today).

According to MakeMusic's website.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.

and if you go to the website you linked, you will see that it says "Finale 2009 is NOW SHIPPING", right there, in the middle of the page.

Oh. Well it told me the 21st about a week ago. I guess they must have changed it.

My Finale 2009 should be arriving around noon today EST.
I got the confirmation email and phoned Fed-Ex last night to deal with the duties and taxes.

I just watched the promo video outlining what improvements I'd get when upgrading from 06 to 09. WOW! They've done quite a bit to Finale and it is looking quite incredible. While I still work with mostly DAW apps, I'll probably be upgrading my version. It's great to see the program continually grow and expand.

Finale 2009 now installed and running on my computer.

Lots of little changes, very nice ones.
So far I haven't come across anything major that bothers me, but there's lots of little things that will need to be relearned.

I will be pulling out some older files now to see how the new version deals with them.

Looking at the new features... Multiple page editing and the new interface for entering expressions both look sexy. And the improved engraver slurs could also be great, if they work. The other stuff doesn't really interest me much.

How do these things work out for you? And is there anything else to make it worth changing? (Well, I won't change immediately anyways, since I'm working on something with other people who use Finale 2008 and we'd get compatibility issues if I changed now - that's the thing that annoys me most about there being a new Finale every year.)

GAH!!!!!!! Why did I have to pay for the cruise last week instead of paying for a new FINALE?!

*pouts*

So... does the Engraver font have the trill-flat, trill-sharp, trill-natural articulations and custom lines fixed yet??

*pout*


Dammit.

sorry, I'm not sure what you mean about "fixed".
the engraver font trills (flat, natural and sharp) have always worked perfectly for me.
